Where do I get a list of colleges providing financial aid for international students as well? For example I was recently informed that Georgetown university doesn't give financial aid to international students.

This is a compilation of large scholarship awards that are automatically awarded. The awards included in this list meet the following criteria:

1. Awarded automatically based on GPA, SAT, ACT, and/or class rank
2. At least Full Tuition/Full Ride in magnitude (or equivalent)
3. Open to all US students, regardless of state residency, ethnicity, race, etc.
4. No need-based requirement or component
5. College must be accredited, public or non-profit private, 4-year degree-granting institution

Key:

Full Tuition: covers the cost of tuition for 4 years

Full Ride: covers Tuition, Room, and Board for 4 years (may include other benefits as well)

Here's a new one I found with guaranteed scholarships, Texas A&M - Kingsville.

"Freshman merit scholarships are awarded to entering first-time freshman who show exceptional academic ability through superior test scores and class ranking. Students admitted by December 15 are guaranteed; admission after this date is limited by availability of these scholarships. "

Appears to give equivalent to full-tuition for 30 ACT + 25% Rank up to near Tuition + Room/Board at 35 ACT

Application deadline: no specific deadline (other than the deadline to apply to the school), but "Scholarships are automatically awarded on a first-come, first-served, basis to eligible candidates" and "Scholarships are awarded until all funds have been exhausted and not all eligible applicants will receive an award."

Award: "The Distinguished Scholars Award Program is a merit scholarship for U. S. high school graduates. Eligible scholars will receive an award to cover the cost of tuition minus the sum of Bright Futures, the National Merit® award or other scholarship and awards. The scholarship will cover fees associated with tuition, but minus the postal fee and the orientation fee." There are additional amounts for books, room, and/or board for students who have Florida Bright Futures Academic or Medallion, or National Merit Finalist or Semifinalist.
Requirements: 3.50 HS GPA (recalculated), 29 ACT (with 27 math*) or 1290 SAT (with 650 math*) (*for engineering or science majors)
Renewal: 3.0 college GPA, 15 credits per semester, no failed courses, cannot change major also requires FAFSA filed by 3/1.

Award: (as of 2017) $8,190, plus $15,264 for non-residents. This is exactly the amount listed for 2017-2018 tuition. It is not stated whether this amount changes with tuition or remains the same in following years.
Requirements: 3.0 HS GPA, 33 ACT or 1490 SAT or 1440 old SAT CR+M
Renewal: "terms and conditions are met each year", but it does not say what those terms and conditions are.
Note: lesser scholarships are available down to 3.0 HS GPA, 25 ACT or 1200 SAT or 1130 old SAT CR+M.

Thank you @ucbalumnus and @TexasApex ! I will incorporate and paste again. Not messing with bold, etc as it doesn't carry over when copy/pasted, and I edited out stuff that doesn't fit the previous format (like renewal requirements - super useful but I think kids can follow the links)
